Euro-Office consists of four browser-based applications: a document editor, spreadsheet program, presentation tool, and a PDF editor, with each application enabling collaborative document editing. It supports Microsoft Office file formats DOCX, PPTX and XLSX, as well as Open Document Format (ODF) files such as ODS, ODT and ODP.
The software is intended to be integrated into collaboration solutions such as file-sharing platforms, online wikis or project management tools, according to Nextcloud, one of several European organizations involved in the Euro-Office project.
Nextcloud will add Euro-Office to its Nextcloud Office next month, where it will be available as an “equal option” alongside an existing open-source productivity suite based on Collabora’s software, Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek said in a briefing. Pricing will depend on factors such as use case and deployment scale, but will sit in a similar range to the Collabora version.
Nextcloud plans to add desktop and mobile apps “later this summer,” said Karlitschek; these will save documents locally and sync to cloud storage tools that customers choose.
